<p>Art and craft education is the area of learning which is based upon the visual, drawing, painting, pottery, weaving, print making, making artifacts using recycled materials and to name a few. This research focuses on the challenges<strong> </strong><strong>faced by secondary teachers in teaching Arts Education.</strong> The idea was researched to establish how art and craft education can be utilized to increase levels of confidence, motivation and skills in Secondary school teachers. The research used a mixed method approach for gathering results. This study, using a questionnaire designed by the investigator, provided an insight into secondary art and craft teachers, principals and curriculum developers of art education. A group of 20 participants was selected through convenient sampling for the purpose of this study. Findings show a positive correlation between the art and craft program at the center of this research and the advancement of the skill acquisition, motivation and confidence. The recommendations after the study and analysis of results should enshrine great details on how art and craft can become a mainstream subject and shed its light on the minds of the children to gain its due respect and position to where it naturally belongs.</p>

Introduction. An absolute lymphocyte count is commonly used as an alternative to a CD4 count to determine initiation of antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected individuals in Fiji when a CD4 count is unavailable.Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of laboratory results of HIV-infected individuals registered at all HIV clinics in Fiji.Results. Paired absolute lymphocyte and CD4 counts were available for 101 HIV-infected individuals, and 96% had a CD4 count of ≤500 cells/mm3. Correlation between the counts in individuals was poor (Spearman rank correlationr=0.5). No absolute lymphocyte count could be determined in this population as a suitable surrogate for a CD4 count of either 350 cells/mm3 or 500 cells/mm3. The currently used absolute lymphocyte count of ≤2300 cells/μL had a positive predictive value of 87% but a negative predictive value of only 17% for a CD4 of ≤350 cells/mm3and if used as a surrogate for a CD4 of ≤500 cells/mm3it would result in all HIV-infected individuals receiving ART including those not yet eligible. Weight, CD4 count, and absolute lymphocyte count increased significantly at 3 months following ART initiation.Conclusions. Our findings do not support the use of absolute lymphocyte count to determine antiretroviral therapy initiation in Fiji.

Full textAbstract:
Zebrafish have become an established in vivo vertebrate model to study cardiovascular development and disease. However, most published studies of the zebrafish vascular architecture rely on subjective visual assessment, rather than objective quantification. In this paper, we used state-of-the-art light sheet fluorescence microscopy to visualize the vasculature in transgenic fluorescent reporter zebrafish. Analysis of image quality, vascular enhancement methods, and segmentation approaches were performed in the framework of the open-source software Fiji to allow dissemination and reproducibility. Here, we build on a previously developed image processing pipeline; evaluate its applicability to a wider range of data; apply and evaluate an alternative vascular enhancement method; and, finally, suggest a work-flow for successful segmentation of the embryonic zebrafish vasculature.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the assemblage and display of Fijian collections at Government House during the first few years of British colonial rule and reflexively considers its re-presentation in the exhibition Chiefs & Governors: Art and Power in Fiji (6 June 2013 – 19 April 21014) at the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA). It moves beyond reductionist accounts of colonial collecting and investigates the specificity and nuances of complex relationships between Fijian and British agents, between subjects and objects, both in the field and in the museum. A focus on the processes of collecting and display highlights multiple agencies within colonial networks and the fluid transactional nature of object histories. The Fijian objects that bedecked the walls of Government House from the mid 1870s were re-assembled in 1883 as the founding ethnographic collections of the University of Cambridge Museum of General and Local Archaeology (now MAA). Ethnographic museums have tended to efface the links between the material on display and their colonial pasts (Edwards and Mead 2013). In contrast, the creation of Chiefs & Governors was used as an opportunity to explore the multiple agencies within colonial relations and the processes of collecting, displaying and governing (Bennett et al.2014; Cameron and McCarthy 2015). The second half of this paper analyses the techniques and challenges involved in displaying colonial relations in a museum exhibition and considers the ongoing value of the collections for Fijian communities, cultural descendants, museum staff, researchers and broad public audiences today.

Abstract. By its very nature Earth is unsettled and in continual motion. Earthquakes and volcanoes are an expression of the convective motions of the planet, and our existence on Earth is a consequence of this tectonic activity. Yet, as humans, we often struggle to understand our role in relation to such unpredictable natural phenomena and use different methods to attempt to find order in nature's chaos. In dwelling on the surface of our “unsettled planet”, we adapt and live with a range of ground vibrations, both natural and anthropogenic in origin. Our project, funded by the University of Bristol's Brigstow Institute, seeks to explore how we perceive and understand the shaky ground we live on, using an interdisciplinary approach that brings together the Earth sciences, the history of art and literature, and performance art. Inspired by historical commentary in the aftermath of large earthquakes, which frequently notes the unscheduled ringing of church bells excited by the shaking around them, we reflect on how these purported unscheduled bell-ringing events were caused not only by near earthquakes but also by distant incidents. To investigate this phenomenon, we installed a state-of-the-art broadband seismometer in the Wills Memorial Building tower to record how Great George (the tower bell) responds to the restless world around him. The installed seismometer has been recording activity around and within the tower on a near-continuous basis between late-March 2018 and January 2019. Here, we present the signals recorded by the seismometer as Great George overlooks the hustle and bustle of the city around him and investigate how connected we are to our unsettled planet, even from our tectonically quiet setting in Bristol. We find that the seismometer not only shows the ebb and flow of activity in and around Bristol but also registers earthquakes from as nearby as Lincolnshire, UK, or as far away as Fiji, halfway around the world. In order to contextualize our findings, our project also considers what determines how people have responded to earth-shaking events, drawing on both historical and recent examples, and looks to contemporary art practice to consider how an awareness of our unsettled planet can be communicated in new ways. The project has led to a number of art installations and performances, and feedback from artists and audiences shows how making art can be used to both investigate our connections with the Earth and to articulate (and even accept) the uncertainties inherent in encountering unstable ground.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of the visual arts for communicating climate change in the context of the Pacific islands, through the perspectives of artists and climate change practitioners. Design/methodology/approach As part of an “Eco Arts” project carried out in Fiji, semi-structured research interviews were undertaken with artists and climate change practitioners. Findings Participants’ motivations to produce art reflected their personal concerns about, and experiences of, climate change. There was an intention to use art-based approaches to raise awareness and promote action on climate change. The artwork produced drew on metaphors and storytelling to convey future climate impacts and aspects of climate change relevant to Fijian and Pacific communities. Research limitations/implications The study reports the perspectives of participants and discusses the potential uses of arts communication. Conclusions cannot be drawn from the findings regarding the effectiveness of specific artwork or of arts communication as a general approach. Practical implications The research offers suggestions for the inclusion of creative approaches to climate change communication within education and vocational training. A consideration of the perspectives of artist–practitioners has implications for the design and conduct of climate change communication. Social implications The involvement of artist–practitioners in the communication of climate change offers the potential for novel discussions and interpretations of climate change with individuals and within communities, which complement more formal or scientific communication. Originality/value The present study identifies the motivations and objectives of artist–practitioners involved in climate change communication. The authors highlight the role of personal experience and their use of artistic concepts and creative considerations pertinent to the geography and culture of the Pacific region.

Full textAbstract:
Constitutional guarantees of free speech and media freedom are well established 'on paper' in most South Pacific nations. How these gurantees are interpreted is constantly a source of tension between policitans, media practicioners and constitutional advocates. Recent attempts by two countries in the region, Fiji and Tonga, to introduce draconian legislation have partially successful, provoking international condemnation. In Feburary 2003, a series of five bans on the Auckland-published Taimi 'o Tonga newspaper led to conflict between the island kingdom's Supreme Court and the Privy Council. This eventually provoked controversial consitutional changes that were adopted on October 16 in spite of unprecedented protests. These changes, in the form of the Media Operators Act 2003, Newspaper Act 2003, and Act of Constitution of Tonga (Amendment) Act 2003, are expected to effectively ban the paper for good and, according to some legal analysts, may end the rule of law. In Fiji a draft Media Council of Fiji Bill was made public in May 2003 and submissions were invited. However, the proposed law stirred a strong reaction from the media and civil society groups as being 'unconstitutional'. This article examines and analyses the debate over self-regulation and public accountability of the media versus state control in the South Pacific.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude conduite nous donne une lecture non canonique de l'activité de Leonor Fini en tant que costumière de théâtre, avec un regard spécial sur les spectacles réalisés entre Rome et Paris de 1944 à 1969, tout en essayant de développer un itinéraire interprétatif non ordinaire sur ce aspect peu exploré de l'art finian.En fait, l'axe de l'enquête s'est précisé à partir de la détermination des tendances travesties de l'artiste, que l'on retrouve à Trieste - où elle absorbe une pluralité de stimulus intellectuels jusqu'à son tendre âge, pour aborder la définition du travail comme costumière. L'objectif que nous avons dû affronter dans cette étude, fut celui de donner une lecture organique, de décrire un chemin ordonné et raisonné qui du travestissement conduit de manière univoque et extraordinaire à la pratique du costume théâtrale, laquelle doit être encadrée comme une moitié désirée.Il y a donc l'analyse de aucun maquettes de costume réalisés au sein des productions italiennes et d'autre parte, sur ceux de productions français.

The aim was to give an organic reading, to describe an orderly and reasoned development that, starting by transvestism, guides to theatrical costume's creation -which should be considered as a desired purpose- in an uniquely and extraordinary way.Therefore, an analysis of some costume design sketches made for Italian productions and, on the other side, those for some French productions, has proposed. Many of these sketches are unpublished and, on previously studies, they have been victim of mistakes about the dating or the premiere's theatre.Thanks to the building of a systematic itinerary on the existential essence in the costume design production, the contribution that this study attempts to give to finienne literature is interpretative, as far as chronological and recognitive .Therefore, this study is about interconnections and touches between various research fields encompassed by this eclectic, cosmopolitan and magnetic, cultured and refined artist for which the costume's creation was a necessary goal to reach<br>Lo studio condotto mira a conferire una lettura non canonica dell'attività di Leonor Fini come costumista teatrale, con uno sguardo preferenziale sugli spettacoli andati in scena a Roma e Parigi fra il 1944 e il 1969, sviluppando un itinerario interpretativo non ordinario su questo aspetto poco esplorato della sua arte.L'indagine ha preso il via a partire dalla determinazione delle tendenze travestitive dell'artista, rintracciate a Trieste -città ove la Fini assorbì una pluralità di stimoli intellettualifin dalla tenera età, per arrivare poi alla definizione del lavoro in qualità di costumista.L'obiettivo fronteggiato in questo studio è stato quello di dare una lettura organica, di descrivere un cammino ordinato e ragionato che dal travestimento ha condotto, in maniera univoca e straordinaria, alla creazione del costume teatrale il quale deve essere considerato come una meta a lungo perseguita.Sono stati quindi analizzati alcuni bozzetti di costume realizzati in seno a produzioni italiane e, inoltre, alcuni destinati invece a produzioni francesi. Molti di questi risultano inediti, e oltretutto alcuni di essi, sono stati in passato vittime di errori riguardo la loro datazione o il teatro della prima messa in scena.Grazie alla costruzione di un percorso organico sull'essenza esistenziale-identitaria della produzione costumistica di un'artista controversa come lei, il contributo che questo studio tenta di conferire alla letteratura finiana è di tipo interpretativo come anche cronologico e ricognitivo. Lo studio parla quindi di interconnessioni e sfioramenti fra differenti territori di ricerca toccati da quest'artista eclettica, cosmopolita e magnetica, colta e raffinata, per laquale la pratica del costume fu una necessaria destinazione da raggiungere

Full textAbstract:
For many Australians, Fiji is a place of holidays, coups and rugby. The extent to which we
think about this near-neighbour of ours is governed, for most, by what we learn about Fiji
through the media. In normal circumstances, there is not a lot to learn as Fiji rarely appears
in our media. At times of crisis, such as during the 1987 and 2000 coups in Fiji, there is
saturation coverage. At these times, the potential for generating understanding is great. The
reporting of a crisis can encapsulate all the social, political and economic issues which are a
cause or outcome of an event like a coup, elucidating for media consumers the culture, the
history and the social forces involved. In particular, the kinds of sources used and the kinds
of organisations these sources represent, the kinds of themes presented in the reporting, and
the way the journalists go about their work, can have a significant bearing on how an event
like a coup is represented. The reporting of the Fiji coups presented the opportunity to
examine these factors. As such, the aim of this thesis is to understand the role of the media
in building relationships between developed and developing post-colonial nations like
Australia and Fiji.
A content analysis of 419 articles published in three leading broadsheet newspapers, The
Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian and The Canberra Times, examined the basic
characteristics of the articles, with a particular focus on the sources used in these articles.
This analysis revealed that the reports were dominated by elite sources, particularly
representatives of governments, with a high proportion of Australian sources who provided
information from Australia. While alternative sources did appear, they were limited in
number. Women, Indian Fijians and representatives of non-government organisations were
rarely used as sources. There were some variations between the articles from 1987 and those
from 2000, primarily an increase in Indian Fijian sources, but overall the profile of the
sources were similar.
A thematic analysis of the same articles identified and examined the three most prevalent
themes in the coverage. These indicated important aspects of the way the coups were
represented: the way Fiji was represented, the way Australia's responses were represented,
and the way the coup leaders were represented. This analysis found that the way in which
the coups were represented reflected the nature of the relationship between Australia and
Fiji. In 1987, the unexpected nature of the coup meant there was a struggle to re-define how
Fiji should be understood. In 2000, Australia's increased focus on Fiji and the Pacific region
was demonstrated by reports which represented the situation as more complex and uncertain,
demanding more varied responses.
A series of interviews with journalists who travelled to Fiji to cover the coups revealed that
the working conditions for Australian media varied greatly between 1987 and 2000. The
situational factors, particularly those which limited their work, had an impact on the
journalists' ability to access specific kinds of sources and, ultimately, the kinds of themes
which appeared in the stories. The variation between 1987 and 2000 demonstrated that
under different conditions, journalists were able to access a more diverse range of sources
and present more sophisticated perspectives of the coup.
In a cross-cultural situation such as this, the impact of reporting dominated by elite sources
is felt not just in the country being covered, but also in the country where the reporting
appears. It presents a limited representation, which marginalises and downplays the often
complex social, cultural and historical factors which contribute to an event like a coup.
Debate and alternative ways of understanding are limited and the chance to engage more
deeply with a place like Fiji is, by and large, lost.

Full textAbstract:
Communal land values can, on the one hand, be an integral part of the socio-cultural experience which tourists seek and enjoy while visiting Fiji. Partly inherited from the land, such values are still vital as basis of survival in rural Fiji. They are passive so they do not command a price and therefore largely considered free however, indigenous Fijian landowners tend to perceive that such values are an inseparable part of their land and may often expect that these ought to be paid for when land is taken up for development such as in tourism. This dilemma within the tourism system could underpin land conflicts between traditional landowners and tourism entrepreneurs. As tourists ultimately bear costs, the problem can be partially addressed by focusing on their willingness to pay for communal use of land.
This research assesses the backpackers� willingness to pay (WTP) for communal values of land in Fiji, including their opinions, feelings, attitudes and perceptions. It uses a social, psychological-economic theoretical framework which postulates firstly, that backpackers will pay in order to maximise satisfaction and, that utilities from passive values can be derived and measured. Secondly, as backpackers search for authenticity, adventure and meeting local people they would tend to be self actualised and therefore willing to pay. A contingent valuation study was undertaken in Fiji from February to June 2003 with a relatively high participation and response rate. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from February to March, 2005 to elicit backpackers� knowledge, feelings, perceptions and attitudes regarding their willingness to pay for the communal use of land.
A great majority of respondents were willing to pay. CV respondents were willing to pay an average of F$6.50 for the communal value of land but the younger, highly educated and long haulers would pay less. Though a high proportion of respondents were willing to pay because they valued the communal use of land, for the majority the main reason was financial. Interviewees were willing to pay for economic, psychological and egocentric reasons. The latter two were particularly based on their motivational satisfaction and understanding of the traditional land-based survival skills. Respondents� perceptions of communal values of land, incomes and psychological attitude were also major factors underlying why they were not willing to pay.
In light of the study�s findings, it was suggested that the backpacker concept may need to be re-examined as they tended not to be necessarily as budget-minded and exploitative as generally depicted to be. Similarly, they tended to be self-actualising and also espousing motivations similar to those of mass tourists. It was also proposed that WTP can provide a basis for economically analysing the use of passive values of environmental tourism resources, such as land, which can facilitate the industry�s ability in decision making, and management. As an incentive, WTP for communal values of land can be crucial in enhancing and sustaining tourism in a land-scarce economy such as Fiji. In the interim, WTP for communal land use could also provide informed decisions to address current issues such as the Customary Fisheries Bill. Indeed, this pioneering study examines the very issues of passive values for traditionally owned resources which can be applied more broadly; not only in Fiji, but also in other parts of the Pacific.

Full textAbstract:
This is the first study done to ascertain which factors
significantly determine graduation and non-graduation in the Diploma
courses at Fiji Institute of Technology.
It is a quantitative study and analyses of the effects
of the variables sponsored/private, entry level, race, grade point
average, course sex, age and rural/urban on graduation and
non-graduation.
The significance of this study lies in determining
which improvements are necessary in order to increase the number of
graduates and thus make more effective use of the physical and human
resources. Resource utilisation gains added importance because of
its national implications. The Diploma graduates are the main
source of middle level technical manpower for Fiji; a developing
country which since its independence in 1970, has made satisfactory
social, political and economic progress.
For the period under study, data analysis shows that
the percentage of students graduating was 40.8. Furthermore, the
major finding was that Government sponsored ethnic Indian male
students with New Zealand University Entrance as entry level,
belonging to the 24+ age group produced statistically significant
results.
It has been recommended that both the Fiji Institute of
Technology and the Government of Fiji should increase and strengthen
Government sponsorship of Diploma students. Fiji Institute of
Technology in consultation with industry should work out effective
strategies such as better supervision and the monitoring of
sponsored students' progress throughout the course and provision of
an increased variety of work experiences, in order to improve the
weaker areas of practical experience during the course.
Since this is the first such study, further research in
areas such as the requirements of the Diploma curriculum and the
availability of training facilities and equipment, is recommended.

Despite its idyllic setting and concentration of resources, Fiji has one of the highest rates of violence against women, outside of conflict zones, in the world. The state, legal system, and society have simply failed to protect the women against different forms of violence and discrimination. The lack of parliamentary democratic process certainly has contributed to the deplorable situation. After analyzing the roots of the problem, the authors introduce comprehensive policy recommendations to help rectify the situation. The problems in Fiji are rather extreme, and there is a lot to learn for everyone about the weakness of state and institutions to perform some of their most fundamental functions.

Healthcare is a vital portion of today's medical environment, and it is necessary for medical providers to do their work in an efficient and effective manner. Everyday, hundreds of thousands of patients visit medical amenities stimulating the administration to run smoothly. Almost all hospitals and the health centers in Fiji are now heavily dependent on a patient information system (PATISplus) that helps the employees to manage all the medical and administrative information. In this chapter, the authors analyse the ethical issues of a patient information systems (PATIS) using the PAPA model. This is in terms of privacy, accessibility, accuracy, and property. This chapter reviews current policies within the Ministry of Health and Medical Services in Fiji and also if there is a need of development of standard operating procedures in view of the PAPA model.

INTRODUCTION Impulsivity and Alexithymia are related to substance use disorders (SUD) as risk factors (1,2), several cognitive skills are implied in both traits (1,2). However, few researches are published on their mutual relationship in SUD patients. OBJECTIVES To describe the correlations between alexithymia and impulsivity in SUD patients. METHODS Patients with SUD (according to DSM-5) were evaluated with invited to participate in an addiction treatment Ad-Hoc questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20), Barratt impulsivity scales (BIS-11) and Dickamn functional dysfunctional impulsivity scale (FIDI) were performed in all patients. RESULTS 93 patients completed the full evaluation, the total score of TAS-20 was significantly related to total scores of BIS-11 and FIDI. Analyzing subscales, Difficulty Describing Feelings subscale describe better the association between total TAS-20 scores and impulsivity, and it may be the link between dysfunctional impulsivity and alexithymia. Externally-Oriented Thinking subscale was fewer correlated to any BIS-11 factor compared to the other subscales of TAS-20. Interestingly, cognitive impulsivity is not related to total TAS-20 scores and the TAS-20 subscales. CONCLUSIONS Alexythimia and impulsivity are related in SUD (especially some subfactors are better associated), and hence these relations should be considered when conducting therapeutic approaches.

This paper looks at the Sutro Baths (1894-96) in San Francisco as an early example of the interiorization of public space, as a pioneer “Fun Palace” and a stage of consumption. The Sutro Baths were an encapsulated microcosms, the delirious dream of an ambitious millionaire, engineer, and later major of San Francisco. Sutro, a German immigrant and entrepreneur managed to encapsulate the ocean inside a spectacular glass palace. The history of these baths is also a reflection of the problems of social inclusion and exclusion derived from the privatization of public space. Besides being the largest interior space for bathers in the world at the time, the Sutro Baths are considered to be the first water park: a strange amalgam of pools, burgers, a taxidermy collection, a wax museum and a winter garden aspiring to the hanging gardens of Babylon. The climatized atmosphere and the ocean were sheltered, altered, domesticated and commodified: “Always as balmy and summery as mid-June…Here’s is the spot to loaf in tropic comfort like a Fiji Islander. No nudist and practically no missionaries, but everything else is Number One Triple A Tropical Style!”1 Sutro inaugurated a new typology, the lineage of which portrays a history of attempts to construct autonomous spaces for immersion within altered physics that are internalized and that offer a new type of socio-natural form. Inside these hedonistic bubbles, public life is reduced to a collective leisure experience.

Papua New Guinea lies just north of Australia (Fig. 1). It is a developing island nation, with 462,839 km of land area, a population of 3.9 million people, and vast natural resources (Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia, 1996). It is the largest island in the Oceania region of the world, which also includes Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Most of these islands share similar resources, and prudent development of the resources requires utilization of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). NDE provides the means for flaw detection and size assessment, as well as evaluation of material degradation such as corrosion and hydrogen attack. These are factors which affect the service life of components and systems. Being aware of the state of degradation of these components and systems will enable cost effective maintenance, and reduce costly and dangerous failures. Recognizing the need for NDE expertise, the Papua New Guinea University of Technology at Lae has initiated a Center for Nondestructive Evaluation. Once operational, the center should serve the entire Oceania region, and provide resources, trained students and expertise that will enable the growth of the NDE industry within that area. It is widely accepted that NDE adds value to a product or process, not just cost. The amount of value is directly related to the engineering education of the personnel making NDE decisions. The growth of the NDE industry in these South Pacific Islands will add to the economy, as well as aid in the further creation of a population of engineers who are well educated in NDE.

A flowing soap film is a promising test bed to generate two-dimensional turbulence dominated by an extensional stress field. In this study, the effects of visco-elastic fluid on two-dimensional (2D) turbulent flow have been quantified by the curvature of vortices visualized by a Film Interface Flow Imaging (FIFI) method in the flow. The curvatures of the vortices are related to the direction of velocity vector on the vortices. In order to confirm this idea, the velocity field of 2D turbulent flow was obtained by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). As a flexible polymer, polyethyleneoxide (PEO) was also added to the flow in order to observe how polymers vary the curvature histogram and velocity fields. From the results, it was found that the variance of the curvature histogram became lower by adding the polymer. This was also confirmed by the phenomena that the fluctuation of the velocity vectors in the normal direction becomes small by adding the polymer.

ABSTRACT Background: Many studies reported the importance of exclusive breastfeeding for infants. However, there are many obstacles faced by lactating mothers to provide exclusive breastfeeding for their children. This study aimed to investigate the effect of secondary education on exclusive breastfeeding using a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis and systematic review were conducted by collecting articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. Keywords used exclusive breastfeeding” AND “secondary education” OR “education for breastfeeding” AND “cross sectional” AND “adjusted odd ratio”. The study population was postpartum mothers. Intervention was secondary education with comparison primary education. The study outcome was exclusive breastfeeding. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English or Indonesian language, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed using random effect model run on Revman 5.3. Results: 7 studies from Peru, China, Nigeria, Korea, Ireland, Sub-Sahara, and South Australia were met the inclusion criteria. There was high heterogeneity between groups (I2= 94%; p<0.001). This study reported that secondary education reduced exclusive breastfeeding, but it was statistically non-significant (aOR= 0.86; 95% CI= 0.60 to 1.24; p= 0.430). Conclusion: Secondary education reduced exclusive breastfeeding, but it was statistically non-significant.

Thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications are common in cancer patients and are an important cause of morbidity andmortality in these subjects.Hemostatic abnormalities, with or without these complications are found in nearly 95% of these patients .These abnormalities havebeen atributed to the presence of intravascular coagulation produced by an increased fibrin gene rat ion. We report apatient with adenocarcinoma of colon and multiple venous thrombosis, whose laboratory findings were consistent with anincreased proteolytic activity different from thrombin or plasmin.A 36 year old man with deep vein throrribosis and adenocarcinoma of colon was admitted^He started anti coagulationwith heparin and continued with acenocoimarine.In spite of a correct range of anticoagulation he developed a pulmonarthromboembolism and an axilar vein thrombosis.Coagulation studies on admissionwere as follows: Platelet count;250xl03/μl ,APTT;33 sec.,Prothrombin time;80%,FII; 150%,FV;110%,FVII-X;90%,FVIII;220%,FIX;210%,FDP;156pμ/ml.Thrombin time was shortened and clot solubility in urea 5 M was normal. Euglobulin lysis time and plasminogen(S-2251) were normal.The antithrombin 111 (AT III) concentration measured with specific antiserum (107%) and chromogenic substrates (95%) were normal.The ATIII crossed immunolectrophoresis(CIE) did not show the presence of thrombin-ATI 11 complexes .Studies on von Willebrand factor (vWF) revealed:elevation of vWF:Ag(511%) and normal ristocetin cofactor acti vity(vWF:RCof)(110%); the CIEshowed an increased mo-bi 1 ity( 1.46).Immunological levels of FXIII subunits A and S were decreased(30% and 41%) .Spontaneous proteolytic acti vity(SPA) measured with S-2288 was elevated.Though coagulation findings were consistent with consumption coagulopathy, classicaly related to thrombin gene rati on, thenormal levels of ATI 11 and the abscence of thrombin-ATIII complexes speaks against thrombin intervention.In addition, no evidence of primary fibrinolysis was observed.The increased SPA,the low levels of FXIII subunits A and S, and a faster mobility of vWF:Ag with an increased vWF:Ag/vWF:RCof ratio, suggest that hemostatic abnormalities in this patient could be due to proteolytic degradationof clotting factors by enzymes released from tumoral cells or granulocytes.

Full textAbstract:
The American Red Cross is developing a Coagu.lation Factor X (FX) concentrate to provide a safer alternative for replacement therapy in Factor X deficient patients, who can experience thromboembolic complications with current treatments. Based on a survey of hemophilia treatment centers, we estimate the frequency of the homozygous disorder to be approximately 1/150th that of hemophilia A, or about 65 patients in the USA. We have devised a method for producing FX as a by-product of our Coagulation Factor IX concentrate (FIX). The method starts with adsorption of cryoprecipitate supernatant plasma with DEAE-Sephadex resin followed by elution of Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. This material is adsorbed to sulfated dejctran resin and Factors II and X are eluted by increasing the salt concentration. At 0.45 M NaCl, FII elutes quickly while FX is retarded and can be recovered essentially free of FIX by collecting the slower eluting material. FIX is then recovered at still higher ionic strength. The pooled FX is concentrated, diafiltered and treated to inactivate viruses. Approximately 30% of plasma FX was recovered in pilot scale experiments (600 liters plasma). Specific activity was > 51 FX units / mg protein corresponding to a purity of around 50% and 3000-fold purification over plasma. The ratios of Factors "X : II : IX : Protein C were 1.0 : <0.03 : <0.03 : 0.2. The major contaminant, conprising nearly 50% of the protein, was found to be inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor (IaI), a serine protease inhibitor whose function in plasma has not yet been determined. This inhibitor is also present in the DEAE-Sephadex eluate and. in the FIX concentrate. However, Western blot and HPLC analyses have shown that IaI is present in two different forms.In FX it behaves as expected for the IaI monomer (Mr = 160 kDa), while in the DEAE-eluate and in FIX it exists also in r higher molecular weight form (≥400 kDa) corresponding either to aggregates, complexes or larger native species not previously described. The nature of the possible interaction of Ial w.vdi these coagulation factors is unknown and is currently boinn evaluated.

Full textAbstract:
Partiendo de la metáfora fotográfica empleada por Fournel (1857:268) en la que describe la figura del flâneur como “daguerrotipo andante”, se propone una actualización del fotógrafo encarnado en el prototipo de paseante moderno, desde su nacimiento en el París del siglo XIX hasta el espacio híbrido actual. El daguerrotipo, que requería un proceso de largos tiempos de exposición que influía en la quietud de los propios modelos para la obtención de una obra única, contrasta con la fotografía actual, mucho más “móvil” y múltiple que entonces. El fotógrafo recorre las calles acompañado de su cámara fotográfica en busca del acontecimiento urbano. Haciendo uso de la tecnología, registra sus impresiones ante la multiplicidad de estímulos que se producen en la metrópolis, y precisamente porque la fotografía es un arte propio de aquellos que se mueven, que caminan, al fotógrafo se le ha relacionado en numerosas ocasiones a la figura del flâneur, figura paradigmática de la experiencia moderna. En palabras de Susan Sontag (2005:55), “el fotógrafo es una versión armada del paseante solitario que registra, acecha y navega por el infierno urbano”. La ciudad es un cuerpo en continuo cambio formado por múltiples capas que son experimentadas, en su mayoría, a través del sentido de la vista, aunque en la deambulación, todos los sentidos se activan para apropiarse de la ciudad y resignificarla. En El pintor de la vida moderna Baudelaire (1840) ofrece un retrato del flâneur que es descrito por el propio poeta como una especie de hombre-ojo, donde el ojo es una cámara que registra todo lo que observa a través de su ojo-lente. En este sentido, la metáfora del flâneur como “daguerrotipo andante” hace visible la pulsión de convertir el ojo en el centro de la civilización moderna, además de las propias similitudes que existen entre el ojo y la cámara, ambos, sistemas capaces de producir imágenes reales. En la actualidad, la incorporación de las cámaras fotográficas en los teléfonos móviles, hace todavía más evidente la extensión del ojo como cámara. El flâneur-fotógrafo tiene ahora la posibilidad de capturar todo aquello que sucede a su alrededor, con la mirada fija en la pantalla de su dispositivo mientras su cuerpo se mueve callejeando. Si la experiencia que el flâneur moderno obtenía de la ciudad era una amalgama de estímulos que producía un estado narcotizante, el actual, que deambula por el espacio híbrido, experimenta una sensación caleidoscópica derivada de la sobreestimulación que proviene tanto desde la esfera física como de la digital. De esta manera, haciendo uso del teléfono móvil, registra cada instante a través de la cámara fotográfica y lo hace público compartiendo instantáneas urbanas en tiempo real. Un paseante híbrido prolongado por la tecnología (McLuhan, 1996), un flâneur que, retomando la propuesta de Robert Luke (2001), deviene phoneur, esta vez actualizado en una figura más móvil y en una versión posmoderna: un cronista y fotógrafo de la ciudad híbrida que muestra el acontecimiento urbano a través de unas fotografías que sirven como mapas y se convierten en pantallas, transformando al mundo en una especie de imagen, en un contexto de escenas o situaciones (Flusser, 2009). Siguiendo estas premisas, se realiza un enfoque de la figura del fotógrafo encarnado en flâneur, con el objetivo de indagar en la práctica fotográfica (móvil) y su relación con el caminar como experiencia estética.
